New Ram 1500 Owner /4" Superlift installed

Hello all,

I have recently purchased a new 2015 Ram 1500 crew cab tradesman/express. It's maximum steel, has 3:21 gears and an 8 speed transmission.

I traded in a two door Hyundai coupe for this truck and must say, I'll never own a car again. I left the lot with 10 miles on it in late November and am right at 2500 miles currently. I love every minute I spend in this truck.

I took it in on Tuesday to have the following mods done to it. All these mods were decided on thanks to my research from input gathered from this online community, so I would like to thank everyone for their time and effort.

Mods include:

4" Mopar/Superlift kit w/ Bilstein struts/shocks
35x12.50x20 Mickey Thompson Baja atz p3
Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator
20x10 XD 825 wheels gloss black milled with -24mm offset
Front end alignment; spline drive lug nuts
Bushwacker pocket style fender flares painted to match max steel color
Westin Pro Traxx 4" oval in black
Tint front two windows to match factory back
Rhinoline the bed.

I'll be picking it up tomorrow, so I'll be sure to upload some before and after pics!

Edit: I noticed that a lot of people go to Moe's performance for a tuner/ecu. If I purchase this tuner/ecu, would I be able to hook it up myself with minimum automotive knowledge?

Thank you Austin.

I went back and forth on whether I wanted them to send me a picture of it after they called to let me know it was finished. I decided I wanted it to be a surprise.

I told the guy that I feel like one of them old boys on the tv show Overhualin' except I'm paying for it! :favorites13:

Headed down to Indy with $7k cash in my left pocket and a 40cal on my right side (driving through a sketchy part of town). Pics will be posted in less than 2 hours. I'm incredibly excited, Incase everyone can't tell by now.
